MaRS

A blend of contemporary and historical architecture, the MaRS Centre is anchored by the original brick façade of the former Toronto General Hospital. Built in 1913, the hospital was the site of life-changing discoveries, including that of insulin by Dr. Frederick Banting in 1921. Banting's original desk and lab bench are on display. Today, the modern centre boasts a soaring 62-foot-glass atrium and event spaces that draw more than 150,000 attendees annually. MaRS' 20-storey West Tower, which opened in 2014, is home to the Canadian offices of companies such as Facebook, Autodesk and JLABS.

Super half and half.

[Sally Ings]

Cool juxtaposition between old and new.

I had totally forgotten about the white balance challenge. I shall hopefully play a bit over the weekend. My idea for my 52 week shot should be a good candidate

[Nicole Campbell]

Your city does have a wonderful mixture of old and new architecture.

[JackieR]

Toronto looks like a great mixture of old and new

[Helen Jane]

To think of all those minds applying their genius in such different ways in these two buildings. Nice capture. Sounds like a great weekend ahead, with a fitness bonus.
